Rachel--If I were a parent of a kindergarten-aged child, I would enjoy receiving this letter at the beginning of the year. I would help me understand what my child would be learning in class and remove any anxieties I might have about the class and its teacher. You might consider changing one sentence. At the end of the first paragraph you start with "If you have ever talked with a five-year-old..." I'm guessing all of your parents have indeed, talked with a five-year-old! :-) Your letter should ensure a great start to your next school year.--Nancy

Rachel--Such a wonderful letter! Since you'll be sending it to parents, I'll nitpick on one thing: child and their. You've used those several times in this letter. Great letter to send home to parents!--Nancy

Rachel - This letter is going to delight your students' parents next fall. I'll email you the 2 copies I made of it, while messing around, attempting to get it to fit onto 3 pages instead of 4. Use or lose as it may or may not meet a need.

This is a great letter! It is both informative and welcoming! I would suggest one little shift in the subject agreement. In the sentence: No matter what skill level your child brings with them to Kindergarten.... I would change "them" to "him or her" - I know it's cumbersome, but I think it would improve your sentence. -Monica
